Human metapneumovirus in adults: a short case series	2006-03-14		.txt	text/plain	1484	83	41	This study was carried out to further the available information on adult cases of human metapneumovirus (hMPV), a recently described cause of respiratory infection. For adults presenting with respiratory symptoms and a background of pre-existing respiratory disease or who are immunocompromised, nucleic acid-based techniques are a cost-effective means of making the viral diagnosis in a clinically relevant time frame. In young children and elderly patients hMPV is most commonly associated with a clinical diagnosis of bronchiolitis or bronchitis, respectively, whereas in middle-aged adults, it may produce an influenza-like illness, which can be complicated by pneumonitis in the presence of immunocompromising factors [5] . This retrospective observational study reviewed all cases of hMPV detected in patients over 18 years of age, from the time the RT-PCR method was adopted in July 2003 through to January 2005.	./cache/cord-283399-iz4l9i0d.txt	./txt/cord-283399-iz4l9i0d.txt
